Tagged for the Liebster

Janu has very kindly tagged me
where she has won the Leibster Blog Award.She is a super cool mom and a poet, and I have got to know her poems from dVerse.I am greatly
flattered to be tagged by her, though I feel a little apprehensive as well.You want to tag me? For an award? Are
you sure? :D

The
Rules -

You
have to post eleven facts about yourself.

Then
you answer eleven questions the tagger has asked you and you post eleven
questions for people you are going to tag.

Tag
eleven bloggers (with no more than 200 followers )

Tell
people that they have been tagged.

No
tagging back.

Okay, here goes...11 random facts about me.

1.I can’t
think of 11 things about myself in one shot.Fact.

2.I have a
phobia about jumping across ditches.It
might have something to do with my falling into one when I was a toddler. Not
that I remember.

3.I have spent only a quarter of my life living at my birthplace.

4.I love words. Is birthplace a word?I love poetry too, as if you haven’t figured
that out already...

5.It is easy for me to forgive, but I don’t care that
I can’t forget.All memories are good
once aged..

6.I am a snail not a sparrow.I like travelling by road/trains far, far
more than I like travelling by air.

7.My child does things on my
cell/laptop far quicker than I can.I am secretly a little proud of that.

8.The more my skin loosens around me, the more
comfortable I am in it.

9.It’s too much bother finding out if my cup is half
full or half empty. I’d rather focus on the drinking. Whatever it is, it
generally turns out enough.

10.When I
started working, typewriters were still around.

11.I am not a
fan of religious rituals, but love the lyrical qualities inherent in the
scriptures of all religions. Such groovy poetry!

Of course, I know a few
bloggers who do multimedia posts, of their music, or paintings or other art,
there are several awesome photoblogs I enjoy immensely...so yes, there are some
who are not writers....One thing you would like to change about yourself.

Nah... thank you.Perfection is so boring...I’d much rather be a bit flawed...ok a lot
flawed...never mind....

Can online
friends become 'real' friends offline?

OMG, you mean you haven’t watched “You’ve got
mail”? One issue
you are passionate about.

Life.According
to you what's the greatest revolution of this century? why?

The century is only 12 years old.... still too
young....teenage and just after is when the real revolutions happen...

A book that
has influenced you the most.

I am influenced too bloody easily....whole pile of
them here....too many to list..The one cause you would really fight for.......

All are born equal...but
some become more equal than others...with due respect to Orwell for the
misquoteBeauty and brains......( complete this sentence)

....are irrevocably linked...can’t
have beauty without brains...

A quality you hate in others.

Don’t like the word hate, jeez......it smells too
strong....not my style of perfume at all...I don’t use it....avoid being in the
same room with people who wear it too...gives me a headacheMoney vs happiness.

The answer my friend lies in Ogden Nash.

My 11 questions for the tagged bloggers

1.If you could have any one
wish granted, what would it be?

2.Is acceptance a better
route to happiness than striving to change?

3.What's more important, to carry your heritage or to carve out a future despite it?

4.Have you ever read any poetry after you left school? If yes, who is your favourite poet?

5.If you had to choose just
one thing that your mum said to you to keep in memory, what would that be?

6.One person, two tools/gadgets,
and three books that you’d choose to be marooned with in a desert island.

7.What’s your addiction?

8.Forest or street, which
would you rather be and why?

9.Leaving aside your family
and friends, when you say “my people” who exactly do you mean?
